Chapter 458 - 'Suspecting The Sloan Family'

"First, let’s open the samples." The vice head opened the package and carefully took out the 6 potion bottles as big as his pinky.

Each bottle had one drop of potion, yet because the colour differed from each other, it’s easy to identify it.

Not to mention that Ainsley also gave a sticky note talking about the potion’s name and its effect.

"The first that we shall review is this...pseudo-awakening potion." The vice head put the tiny bottle in front of him while the senior alchemists stood up energetically.

Each of them already wore their working lab coat and was ready to examine the potion. They even got the magic tools to identify the ingredients used in the potions...

"Pseudo-awakening potion. It’s said that it has a 30% chance to awaken one’s special ability."

When the vice head read the words written on the sticky note out loud, the other alchemists in the room almost staggered and slipped.

One of the oldest alchemists there couldn’t help but rush to the vice head’s place with a flushing face.

"What did you say?! This potion has a 30% chance to awaken one’s special ability??"

"Uh, yes..."

The vice head hadn’t even continued his words when the old alchemist snatched the potion sample from his hand and immediately brought it to the globe-like magic tool.

"This is impossible. A potion that can trigger one’s awakening! This is a miracle!"

The alchemist tried to see the ingredients inside that one drop of potion, and when he got the result from the magic tool, he was dumbfounded.

Five-layered yellow rose from the Elven continent...holy ginger from the Dwarf kingdom...the fur of a sacred beastmen from the beastmen country....

All the ingredients were something that one couldn’t get at the human continent without importing it.

This potion...wasn’t supposed to be made by humans!

After all, the human alchemist never bothered to use foreign ingredients since to finalize the potion, one needed the special ability of an alchemist...

And human alchemists couldn’t finalise potions made of foreign ingredients!

One needed an elf, a dwarf or a beastman alchemist to finalize such a potion...

The senior alchemist had never seen or touched a potion made by a foreign race...but he was sure that no human made this potion.

"My friends.. is this...not a potion made by a human alchemist?" The old alchemist asked his friends, the other senior alchemists and a few prodigy young alchemists.

"I think it’s not. The ingredients alone are already foreign ingredients..." a prodigy alchemist at the age of 18 chipped in.

He’s the disciple of that old alchemist.

"Hum, agree with the lil rascal. I have never seen a potion made by humans but it has such ingredients..."

"Then...this potion is a foreign potion? Which race made it? The elves? The dwarf? Or...?"

Since they knew that the first potion had never existed in the human continent, the alchemists started to guess which race made the potion.

That way, they could easily test the potion and identify it before consuming the sample for the final examination.

"I think an elf makes this. I have once accompanied Lord Geraldine to experiment with an elf’s potion...and it has a similar feeling..."

One of the female prodigies in the room finally joined the fray. She’s Geraldine’s favourite disciple. Thus, she often accompanied him everywhere.

A pity that she couldn’t follow him this time.

"An elf’s potion, huh...if it’s like that, none of us can be sure whether this potion is fake or not, right?" The old alchemist stroked his beard as he looked at his pals.

After all, they had encountered many foreign potions from other races too, but an elf’s potion...it was so rare that only the Billios Family could get one.

And it was usually only once a year. Thus, only the guild master got to experiment with the potion sample...even a senior like the old alchemist couldn’t see or touch the potion.

"We can see whether the potion is fake or not by consuming it. However, I do suggest we do that later..."

The vice head also believed that the potion was somehow hard to assess. Thus, they moved on to the second, third, and fourth potion samples....

And the alchemists descended into utter chaos once more.

"Core-healing potion? This...this is definitely an elf’s potion! I have once read in an ancient book that Elf alchemists can make core-healing potions..."

Because summoners were scarce among the elves, they inevitably got an alchemist to make core-healing potions...and luckily, they’re blessed with the special ability to finalise the potion.

"Energy line-condensing potion...this is also an elf’s potion...but the beastmen and dwarf can make it as well!"

"A soul-healing potion?! This is 100% an elite elf’s potion! I once read in an ancient scroll that the royal elf alchemists can make such potions!"

"I think the legendary female alchemist from our country can make this potion as well..."

"Right, right, but the juvenile potion...elves, dwarves, beastmen, and other races can make this potion. Only us humans can’t."

"What about the spirit-nourishment potion? Is this also a royal elf alchemist’s potion?"

"Even more amazing, you know. Lord Geraldine once said that only the heir to the Elven throne can make this potion. I just don’t know how a tiny family like the Sloan Family got this!"

The potion’s rarity and the ambiguous sources made the alchemists couldn’t help but suspect the Sloan Family a little bit.

If these potions aren’t fake...then how did they get it? It’s already so hard for the Billios Family to acquire a few elven potions...

But the Sloan Family got 6 types!

The Sloan Family...is hiding something from us!
